Bonnie: Have you noticed how cute I am, and still I'm yet to have sexy fun times on this show, meanwhile my besties have had plenty? Right, so shut up Shane. I'm feeling up McQueen, here.
Shane: Breathe. It's just like Lamaze.
Bonnie: Lamaze -- did you miss the part about no sexy fun times?
We cut to the woods to give Bonnie a chance to turn Shane into a toad. Let's hope she takes it. Vaughn's tattoo starts to disappear, which he correctly interprets to mean that Bonnie is casting her spell. Back in the cave, the walls start tumbling. They land all around Jeremy and Bonnie. Shane -- who still has not taken on his true toad form, runs. We cut to commercial, thank goodness.
Down below, Elena has been struck with vampire deafness scriptococcus, so she doesn't hear Rebekah and Stefan discussing how there's only one dose of the cure. When Stefan berates himself for being dumb enough to hold out hope, Rebekah says that even if she'd consider giving it to him, to ease his suffering (and I'm not sure it would since the guilt is one of the worst parts for him), she knows he'd probably just turn around and give it to Elena. Our girl is learning. She's learning hard, but she's learning.

Well. Hole. Cave. Crypt. Place. Jeremy's doing pushups and calling for Bonnie. When he rises to his feet, he finds her climbing out of the rubble. She's fine and the spell worked. There's now an opening to the burial chamber. Shane is injured and asks for a hand.
Shane: My leg is broken.
Bonnie: Best to stay off it, then.
Recapper: Perfect, Bonnie. Just perfect.
Meanwhile, Vaughn and Damon have arrived inside the cave, only to discover they've been beaten to the punch.
Vaughn: That's a shame, Damon. I'd hate to kill ya.
Audience: Yes, but why? Why aren't you overcome by the urge to kill a vampire?
Damon: Well, I'm resisting the urge to kill him because of that pesky Hunter's Curse.
Audience: We already know that, Pixie.
Damon: How do you want to do this?
Vaughn: Why don't I try to make it quick and painless while you pull off the ropes like you never thought of it until just now.
